Adaptive Capacity of Freshwater Organisms in North America: Current Understanding and Future Applications

Global Change Biology Communications
Freshwater species are increasingly threatened by climate change, yet our ability to assess their vulnerability remains incomplete. Typically, climate change vulnerability assessments (CCVAs) evaluate three components: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive

Determinants of the decision to adopt climate change adaptation strategies among smallholder upland farmers in Southeast Asia

Forest and Society, 2023
This article argues that local adaptive capacity of the smallholder farmers determines their decision to adopt climate change adaptation strategies in the upland farming communities in the Philippines. This argument is based on the research conducted in

Influence of adaptive capacity on the outcome of climate change vulnerability assessment [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractClimate change vulnerability assessment (CCVA) has become a mainstay conservation decision support tool. CCVAs are recommended to incorporate three elements of vulnerability – exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity – yet, lack of data frequently leads to the latter being excluded.

What about me? Factors affecting individual adaptive coping capacity across different populations [PDF]

, 2013
 When and why will people adapt to climate change? We conducted a number of studies examining the psychological drivers of individual adaptation to climate change across different populations. We used a variety of methodologies including interviews,

Development of Patient‐Reported Outcome Measures for Early Systemic Sclerosis Across Disease Subtypes

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Existing patient‐reported outcome (PRO) measures for systemic sclerosis (SSc) have important limitations, including inadequate coverage of early disease and limited inclusion of diffuse cutaneous (dcSSc) and limited cutaneous (lcSSc) subtypes.

The ‘Pacific Adaptive Capacity Analysis Framework’: guiding the assessment of adaptive capacity in Pacific island communities

, 2017
Community-based adaptation (CBA) is becoming an increasingly popular approach to climate change adaptation in the Pacific islands region. Building adaptive capacity should be an important component of projects supporting CBA.

Developing adaptive capacity within groundwater abstraction management systems [PDF]

, 2011
Groundwater is a key resource for global agricultural production but is vulnerable to a changing climate. Given significant uncertainty about future impacts, bottom-up approaches for developing adaptive capacity are a more appropriate paradigm than ...

Enhancing Low‐Temperature Performance of Sodium‐Ion Batteries via Anion‐Solvent Interactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
DOL is introduced into electrolytes as a co‐solvent, increasing slat solubility, ion conductivity, and the de‐solvent process, and forming an anion‐rich solvent shell due to its high interaction with anion. With the above virtues, the batteries using this electrolyte exhibit excellent cycling stability at low temperatures. Abstract Sodium‐ion batteries
